Free Agent Underground
Summary: The Free Agent Underground show is hosted by Kevin Miller, along with co-hosts Chuck Bowen and Justin Lukasavige as they profile the realities and real life characters of the free agent world. Free agency is not about work...but about a lifestyle. A lifestyle where you are living a life of purpose, passion and meaning. Where you set the priorities of your day, week, month, year and life. Where you wrap your work...around your life. Self-employment is the foundational tool. The only problem with self-employment is merely...self. The point is to own your work, not do it all yourself. You can't. Here we talk about the realities, payoffs, challenges and above all...the responsibility to know and live your calling. To be inspired so you can inspire others. Join the revolution.

My brother Jared always felt a pull to serve and give to the ‘least of these’. Literally, the most downtrodden. From homeless people when he was a kid, giving them every cent he had, to ultimately, prostitutes in Rwanda. Today he lives in Mombasa, Kenya, where he and his wife Ilea have devoted themselves to […]
It feels harsh at first, but then, oh so hopeful… Check out this writing from Frederick Buechner, one of my fave authors, it’s an excerpt from his book, ‘The Alphabet of Grace’: “I say that feet are very religious too. I say that if you want to know who you are, if you more than academically […]
A spouse, children, friends and a job that affords a nice car, house and amenities. The American Dream, right? Oh, plus you go to church. So if you have this reality, you should be good. Right again? But…what if you’re not content with this great reality? Maybe you’re being a little selfish? Being in the […]
In yesterdays Free Agent Underground Show I spent 45 minutes with a live audience discussing the main reason they were pursuing self-employment. What was the predominant driving factor? Was it to discover and engage in their Purpose, or just to have Freedom? The answer? Almost 100% said Freedom. Yes, they want to discover and fully […]
“The problem with self-employment is…self. We want to own our work, not go it alone.” If we study people who are successful enough that we’d pretty much all know them, it’s very, very hard to find one who made it by themselves. When we dig in, we find a prominent team of people who were […]

I’ve just realized a truth about myself. I’m a violent man. When a trial presents itself in my life, I’m naturally inclined to choose violence. Instead of…going the distance. There’s a movie called ‘Lawless’ about some bootlegging brothers during the prohibition-era. Lots of shooting and wounding. A quote that happens fairly early on from the […]
Most of you read blogs. But do you know WHY you read the ones you do and don’t read so many others? Many of you also write blogs yourself, and you realize not many folks are reading what you write. So what does it take for a blog to capture your attention, keep you reading […]
There are few people in business or even life these days, who are really good at relating to people. Relating to people well is the key to selling yourself. If you can’t sell yourself, you can’t influence anyone or sell them a product or service you believe in. We’ve become a culture of ‘order takers’. […]
Sometimes we forget what the point of self-employment is. Even I get caught up in the pursuit of ‘work that is purposeful’ and glorifying having a business which is the ultimate culmination of someone’s calling and great service to humanity! But at the core, we primarily pursue self-employment…simply when a traditional j-o-b will never be [...]
We talk about motivation like it’s some kind of fertilizer for success. Sprinkle on a daily dose and like air freshener, it will somehow make things better. Till it fades off and we need more. Truthfully however, most so-called ‘motivation’ is simply speaking to positive thoughts and hope. The purpose of true motivation is to [...]
It’s the God’s-honest truth, but let me clarify. My point here isn’t that being self-employed garners your more friends, but rather…having more friends is a crucial ingredient to becoming successfully self-employed. I’m using the term ‘friends’ a tad liberally. It doesn’t have to be bosom buddies, but it does need to be far closer and [...]
I’m giving an answer at the bottom, and I believe it will give some clarity to an area which gets a lot of attention, but very little action, due to a very vague notion of what freedom really is and how it tangibly relates to us. Scroll right to the bottom if you desire to [...]
In yesterday’s live show we discussed these two blog posts that garnered so much attention. If you missed reading them, or better yet…reading all the comments, click the links below. Or listen to the show here where we expounded and took comments from the live audience. Additionally, I talked about what we can learn about [...]
This is one of my more brief posts, but much more than a mere…post. We are about to revise our trial membership offer at Free Agent Academy. A little shorter timeline and $2 more dollars. But most importantly…a couple requirements. One is some thought toward what the desired outcome is. Here’s what I mean… Ask [...]
